I lost my words in the town On the street where the poets live I reached the city of the beautiful dames With a short sight and no glasses I got down in the town of thieves And lost my wallet the very next minute I walked into a town full of blind In search of light to read a book I lived in a … Continue reading My Travels
Amongst the severed fingers lie A golden ring engraved ‘peace’ A blind is holding a gun weeping And the deaf is dead with earplugs on The dumb stood still and cried out loud The insane bowed low and begged mercy The powerful were all crushed to dust And life was seen crawling on knees They said this war would restore peace But price per piece … Continue reading Irony of Life
Nothing in his mind Just Uncertainty On death row for 20 years He finally walks free A crime so heinous He wished death than being accused But now he walks Free Half dead of the man he was A part of him was put to death Every single day in confinement Another part just crumbled to dust In the weight of his own optimism 20 … Continue reading Freedom with an Apology

The heat and cold now matter less, The heart that once felt the pain of the millions, Is now nothing but stale, cold and disconnected Unrecognizable even to the bearer Years of travel through deserts and snow mountains, Never giving time for the body or soul to settle down, Life has been just rolling at pace And the dust of time sticking its marks on … Continue reading Salvation
